Nonsense

This is my homage to childhood favourites Edward Lear, Spike Milligan and the book, "A Century of Humorous Verse", which I always wished I was funny enough to be in ...

Terse

This verse

is terse.

Flo

Flo made a snake's tail as a friend,

And jealousy drove its head round the bend,

One day by mistake,

Flo sat on the snake,

And met a bitter end when the bitter end, bit her end !

'Mouse-Eater' Mick.

A madman called 'Mouse-Eater' Mick,

Said , "This nickname, it gets on my wick,

"When I'm lucid, I'm nice,

"And am thus given mice,

"So I'm sick on the days I'm not sick."

Prelimerick

A legendary lady from Leeds,

Had fame beyond all her needs,

But she said,"It is time,

"They revered me in rhyme".

So she swallowed a packet of seeds.

Dr Dunn

A delerious doctor named Dunn,

Once cried, "It is done , it is done!"

They asked, "What is done?"

"Or did you say Dunn?"

And he replied, "Don't worry ... for it's done!"

Liz

A loopy young lady called Liz,

Once cried, "Yes it is , yes it is !"

When they asked , "It is what ?"

She replied, "I've forgot,"

"But I'm positively certain that it is."

Contrived ...

A Scotsman in a french bus to Paris (that's Par-ee!),

Asked the driver if they stopped for a pee,

He received from the guy,

A Franco-Scottish reply.

"Oui,Oui, we wee-wee a wee wee-wee a huit !".

Eve

In paradise Eve began, beleivin',

She ought to make the bumpy places even,

But when she ate forbidden fruit,

Her interests took a change in route,

....

So Eve never even ever evened Eden.
